The Boys Find A Way Tonight – Postgame Thoughts
[Applause] go Well that’s something we’re not used to this year isn’t it we’re taking this one two games under I thought we were four for for a bit there it looked like we’re just going to let this one slip right out of our hands my Goodness okay um tonight we seen the results of a team that out hit another team in my books 5 to one in the last 10 minutes we out hit them we got the goal when we needed it the Sabers could be that desperate all the
Time who knows where we would be in the standings let’s look at the numbers okay shots on goal 3228 for Minnesota face off 50% each on the power play mini was one for four the sabes 0 for three they had 18 hits we had 15 again five of those in the last 10
Minutes they had eight blocks we had nine they had five giveaways we had three they had 10 takeaways we had six shots on goal per period first period 12 AP piece second period 103 Minnesota and it felt like the Sabres were just going to go to sleep and hibernate in this game it
Really did uh then in the third 12 10 sabes they kind of woke up in the final I would say final 78 minutes and once we got possession in the overtime with our one shot we won the game scoring middle stack gets his 13th of the season from Yoki Haru who had an
Excellent game at the 39 second Mark of the third and right when it was looking good and Eric sck uh on a rebound play ties it up at 402 and then on a double minor and you guys seen it a double minor and I what were we we’re like 20
Seconds away from killing off both penalties we lose an important draw and chrism gets his first of his career and Minnie takes the lead and then the Sabers kind of go to work but it just felt like they were going to lullaby to sleep again but they did play a decent
Close to this game Greenway gets the tie and goal with the goal he pulled at 1923 three 37 seconds left in the game we go to overtime Yoki Haru from uh tuck and Thompson also greenway’s goal was from Thompson and Dalene Yoki Haru from Tuck and Thompson
In the overtime right away as soon as we got possession and there’s your game so the Sabres pull it out in overtime which is kind of fair cuz you seen we were two and three in overtime this year and um you know we’re going to take this because
Other teams have taken those from us now this is why I’m always preaching a physical side of hockey guys I mean you’ve seen it down the stretch the Sabers played a little physical and got rewarded something happened something good happened and you can’t ask for more
Than that but I wish they would just like all game kind of keep their head on and have that desperation more often another good performance once again by UPL in this game even if we would have lost this game I’d be the first one to
To say UPL was solid and Nets again we got to keep riding that goalie right now and just hope that it brings us somewhere cuz right now we’re just like a a Wandering spirit in the forest folks we just don’t know where we’re headed we’re just kind of playing game to game
And seeing where it brings us and uh Sabres right now got to get something they got to get something going it’s you know look we’re under 30 games left now so now I haven’t given up but it’s like you know the the odds get more and more
Against you every 10 games that passes by it gets more and more against you look all we can do is hope right now now let me go to uh sorry guys let me check the box uh I wanted to look at a few things here Dylan cousins was a plus two in the
Game it’s good to see at the same time guys as we move along in this season and we we have to hope our kids to kind of get things going you know uh they got cousins with a goal that’s I don’t know anyway um the uh unless there’s
Something I missed on the replay I’d have to check the replays as something I missed maybe uh the middle stack goal I thought folks was going to hold up I thought it was going to hold up I really did I you know I just I really thought
It was going to hold up I guess what did did did they change that to Middle set let me just check guys I want to check something here uh I’ll check the the recap again they might have cuz sometimes they change it oh yeah they gave cousins a
Second goal folks yeah I’ll uh I’ll what do you call it I’ll I’ll put the um I’ll I’ll just put the clip in or no no I just I might as well just tell you instead of Greenway getting that gold they gave it to cousins cuz CU you
Remember they were in a scramble in front of the net and he hit it in and I guess cousins got a piece of it after he hit it it must have touched cousin stick as it went in I’m just guessing because it’s now it’s saying Greenway got the
Assist and Thompson of course got the assist so uh okay so cousins got that goal which we need cousins scoring we need 25 goals at least this year out of this guy I don’t know if he’s going to do it it’s been a rough year for him so
Okay cousins got the goal it’s kind of good news I prefer he gets it than Greenway but I thought all game long Greenway was going to score I really did it’s it just felt like he was going to so I didn’t even realize that cuz sometimes they change it they do change
It and I those clips I just showed you guys those were cut out like at least an hour ago so they changed that goal they they looked at it they changed it sometimes they change even the shots on goal and and things like that but uh I just give you what’s clipped out
So scratch Greenway marking cousins for that goal so look that they found a way in the last minute to tie this game up that’s all that mattered somehow someway the boys found away against a team that’s really kind of struggling also though you know I wish this was a team
That had won seven in a row we did it to but it’s not we got to take the win regardless right right now you know going into the going into these games now look there’s no reason again there’s no reason I’ll say it I’ll say it ahead of time there’s no
Reason we can’t beat Anaheim at home a Revenge game for them beating us Day After Tomorrow there’s no reason the Sab should not win that home game no reason then we’re in Montreal again no I’m not at that game so these two games if the Sabres can win them both we’re
500 if we beat Anheim we’re looking at a three-game winning streak and know my luck to come in here and lose to Montreal like in the last minute or something so um we’ll see guys we’ll just see you know maybe there’s a three-game winning streak here and then we got
Columbus I don’t want to get too far ahead I’m just going the next game Anaheim worry about Anaheim next game and we’ll just try as quick as possible guys to get to 500 because we can’t keep doing this this delay thing before we get it to time’s running out pretty soon guys
We’re in the final third of the season and then the final quarter that all comes this 10 next 10 games we’re in the final third of the season and the final quarter so they can’t keep waiting to get it together it has to happen now if they’re going to do
Anything Lord get a four game winning streak going and let’s just see see let’s see if if they’re capable of shocking the entire league all of a sudden they say oh my goodness what’s going on in Buffalo you know that kind of thing cuz right now guys I don’t know
I really don’t what you doing hey come here we have a friend that’s here to visit folks Roma is out and about he’s chasing bison that are in the area there we go guys there she is the one and only she says him in this silly sports that he watches me
So if we can get next game we’re game under do the math guys any of those frustrating losses means we should be over 500 but it is what it is down you go little girl down you go so I’m just hoping somehow some way to get a five
Six game winning streak somehow but I’m I again guys game at a time I I’m just going a game at a time tonight I what was the most impressive thing probably UPL probably UPL and I like that we actually uh started taking the body a bit in the end
Of this game it was really our defenseman that were stepping up but so what just anybody I don’t care who it is and right now you know I’m just I’m just happy they won cuz I really I didn’t know what to think down the stretch of this game I was just
Watching it and they tied it I like my goodness Greenway got it and then it turns out it was cousins but once when I thought it was Greenway I didn’t care I was just so happy I said my goodness at least we get a point out of this at
Least a bare minimum you know provided we don’t ice the puck which we did you might recall with 12 seconds left we iced the puck I think it was ooso I think that did that I was so mad CU you don’t want to give a team a
Chance but soon as we got our first possession overtime we won the game guys not much to say really when it comes to the Hope part that’s up to you you know I I I still have hope that the team can do something I don’t know cuz they haven’t had a winning
Streak this year so I just don’t know what to think this year this is a tough one this year this year is like they don’t get on Long losing streaks either though it’s it’s one of those one of those Seasons that is just you know I I
Again I think we’re going to finish with 82 points when it’s all said and done it’s how it feels this kind of season what are you doing oh she’s shaking I think she wants to go out guys okay okay watch my Wire Watch The Wire no no no get down get
Down little brat you can come on this side that’s okay okay so I’m going to take my my little angel outside guys and let her go uh look for squirrels in the middle of winter which he’s not going to find and I’ll see you guys soon the boys win
Let’s take it let’s be grateful leave it there but I’m I’m happy I’m happy they won cuz I didn’t see that one coming I just didn’t they pulled the goalie and I thought Granado waited too long to pull the goalie you know sometimes he’s he free reels with the goalie just pulls
Him out with three and a half minutes left sometimes cuz we’re down by two and today it’s like what are you putting Luke and him back in for there’s less than a minute you know certain things that drove me nuts but we found the way so I got to give
Credit where it’s due whatever they decided the play they drew up whatever it was worked and they tied the game and they won so we’re going to take this one guys this is like a freebie and I think it’s our first of the season if you want
The truth have a good night guys I’ll see you Soon
Well folks, the Jekyll and Hyde season continues but tonight is a flip to the positive side as the Sabres steal this one late..thanks for watching and see you all soon on this rocky road 😎

0:53 hahaha nice touch!
Big win Wayne, let’s see if we can rip 10 wins a row off and see where we stand.
This was a reminder of what we should have been getting all season.
Granato still needs to go, guy is a bum coach
one game at a time. thank you boys.
also 0:53 scared the crap outta me. Loved it
I turned if off after Wild going ahead 2-1 with the last 15secs of a 4min penalty kill to a careless stick of Clifton. I see they had Krebs on the 3rd line…hopefully he plays there at least a couple more games there.
Nice to finally have a comeback victory
Did we just win an actual real hockey game?! Well don't need the alcohol to get through this work night.
A goal 6 on 5! Holy smokes!
On the Sabres website they took Greenway's goal away from him. It now says Dylan Cozens . In my recap video when I did the recapit said Greenway
Still smarting from that SuperBowl L, but this takes the edge off a little.
This was dangerously close to another 1 goal snooze fest of a game. Sabres FINALLY get bodies to the front of the ent and are rewarded with a goal to tie the game
Please comment on my statement:
If I was Commissioner, I would not allow reviews of offsides. If a linesman misses a guy is 5 inches offsides … so what? It nullifies a lot of nice goals, and hard work.
Good win !!! Our PP had decent movement today. UPL looked impressive again.
Man, Roam seems to have grown a bit! Maybe he's like the hulk. Don't make him angry Buffalo, you wouldn't like him when he's angry! 😋
I like when the Buffalo walked by
You called it Wayne. 3-2! Although it wasn’t boring to me!
Cozens hits no one in his own zone,just going through the motions hard to watch
Lock up Greenway for 8 seasons, he’s the team MVP, the coach and GM clearly think the cup will be ours with him playing the most minutes, lock up Mittens 8 years, he’s our version of Crosby! Trade Peterka since the greatest coach in league plays him 14 minutes and thinks he’s useless. Trade Quinn also, we don’t need guys who score goals and get hurt every week.
Just win and good goaltending will get you wins.
Very strange. Every time Bryson plays……..we win
what the hell did you feed that buffalo 🦬?? he was a big one almost ran you over 😂😂😂
hoping they make it I really do but the odds are against it
The energy and tenacity they brought in the last 10 minutes was what they have been missing! They need to bottle that and hit rewind game after game. Still want Adams and Granato fired.
Uh!,Wayne ,uh you have a Tatanka in you're house!!!!
Im so proud the “Don’t Quit” these guys showed tonight! But I still want to be honest. We got pretty lucky. Yes, there was a lot of hard work at the end of the 3rd and in OT, but they played them pretty soft for most of the game. I saw many times where a Sabre was headed right for a Wild player that was about to dump or pass a puck and the pealed away without making contact. And to me THAT is why we’re struggling. Those 15 hit we had tonight are what a WINNING team has in a period most nights! You don’t need to “destroy” a player when you hit them, but making repeated SOLID contact will either cause them to rush and make mistakes or cough the puck up.
I know this isn’t going to be popular, because I like what Granato has done with our young players offensively, but we either need to fire him and flat out replace him with a hard nosed coach…OR…still bring in that coach and make Granato an associate coach to focus on the forward offensively with the new coach stressing PHYSICAL play!
love the graphics!
UPL is tied for 10th in the league for save %. Great story for the Sabres. So happy for UPL!
You’re right Wayne Greenway was actually going to get that goal. It was heading in with enough momentum that it was crossing the line for sure. However, I am NOT mad at Cozens for not taking that chance and burying it! I’ll never get mad at a player driving hard to the net to make sure it goes in. We need more of that!
Hope you're feeling better Roam
Wayne, Minnesota had won 4 in a row, so it was a hot team that Buffalo just beat in their building! Cue the "Roam Approves" sound bite 🎉 If Buffalo is going to make a move, now is the time. Anaheim, Montreal, and Columbus all on deck. This team simply has to be on a 4-game winning streak if they want to make the playoffs. Anything less is basically curtains on the season.
Still need more goals
I'm still trying to get over the niners loss…what a f joke….KS plus resign….good win sabres
Is Tage going to hit 50 points? Is he ever going to score a goal again?
Big win.
Rosie is getting more comfortable with the studio I think. She was almost looking at the camera a couple times when you had her up with you. Haha.
Still need to see it to believe it. And by see it I mean see them win at least 60 percent of their games the rest of the season.
This current roster does not have it in them to play physically. Still need to bring in a crusher 4th line. Maybe next year.
